The Manx Airsoft club is warning hobbyists not to carry replica guns or wear combat gear in public.
It's taken to social media after someone allegedly walked into a Ramsey petrol station with an airsoft pistol - which can fire plastic pellets - in a holster on their belt.
The club said thankfully a member of the public emailed them about it, because otherwise they might've found themselves "on the wrong end" of the police armed response team.
It's warning any members found carrying their gear in public will face an immediate ban from the club.
